Default Just bought a 87 Tecate 4!

I just bought an 87 tecate 4. It is in about a million pieces but it is my new project. Any suggestions that I should follow along my journey to restore this quad? The engine is trashed right now and Im sure Im missing a couple small parts or bolts here and there but I thinkit is gonna be fun. Or I atleast hope it will be fun hahaha.

The guy that I bought it from still has a couple of my parts. He said that he has a repair manual but I havent got it yet. Probably after Christmas I will get the rest of the parts.

Whats the best place to contact about getting some custom or better A-Arms and a swing arm for my Tecate 4. I havent had much luck yet finding custom parts for it. Any info will be appreciated on what size I need and where to find them.

I have been saving this link for tecate people.

Tecate Connection

Maybe someone there knows exactly what you need.

I know there are some Tecate 4 owners on this board because I have seen you on here. Someone help me out what should I get for this thing? What is a good place to find custom A-Arms, swingarms, etc. Any info will help.

So what are you gonna have to do if you cant find the parts anywhere. Will the parts from another KX250 fit the KXF250 gearset? Im still trying to learn as much as possible about these quads.
